Today’s What I Ate Wednesday will be pretty sparing with words, instead I am going to share a heap of pictures and a great healthy dessert recipe with you. I had my last exam today (oral, marketing) and passed it with flying colors: 1.3 (German grade system from 1-6, with 1 best). So everything I had in mind this evening was partying, having some sparkling wine with a friend, enjoying our chit-chat and sweets until our bellies ached – not so much intuitive eating today, but it is a working progress. And that is the next point: I am working on a great post about intuitive eating, done right. I want to share my own first experiences with it and make a whole page with simple tools for people who want to start eating more intuitively. Hopefully most of this will be up by the end of this week.
Btw: Kitty is so happy that she is the center of attention again and all those ugly cue cards are gone.
I will start today’s post with the recipe, since this will be easier for people to navigate through my blog when they are just searching for recipes using my “temple cuisine” page.
Cookie Dough Frozen Greek Yogurt
- 1.5 cups Greek Yogurt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Place the ingredients in your ice machine and let the magic happen. It’s like the easiest base I’ve ever seen and already tastes divine without additional fold ins – but I love my fold ins and would never leave the ice cream sad and alone in it’s bowl.
- 1/4 cup cashews
- 4 soft dates
- 3 squares dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp oats *optional
Place nuts, dates and oats in your magic bullet (or mixer) and process until you have a slightly sticky dough. Chop up the dark chocolate (or use small chocolate chips) and add them into the dough. Then form small (finger tip sized) cookie dough balls.
Finally fold the cookie dough into the ice cream and let it sit in the freezer for 15-30 more minutes or enjoy it like a soft serve right away.
Sunday morning breakfast: half a croissant with pbj, yogurt and nectarine and a home made cappuccino.
The perfect snack food: celery with almond butter and craisins, apple slices, carrots and a boiled egg.
What’s better to fuel the brain for studying than sencha and a muffin? (All right, all right, you got me: sencha and two muffins.)
And those muffin are the best I had in months! Paleo Carrot Muffins from the Freckled Italian
Quinoa Pasta Bowl with eggplant sauce and veggie meatballs
I have a big crush on wraps recently. They are so versatile and so satisfying and completely fulfill my intuitive eating needs. This one was filled with canned tuna mixed with miracle whip, cherry tomatoes, salad, avocado and more salad:
Ain’t I doing great getting my veggies in? Feel free to use the nickname my boyfriends mom gave me, after she heard that I passed my oral with a 1.3: “The girl is a little wonk, isn’t she?“
How are you doing with your veggies? What is your favorite wrap filling? Do you have an ice machine and make your own ice?
Yay, congratulations on finishing with 1.3! I’m super happy you did well and are now finally able to rest and relax again!
Homemade frozen yogurt? Yes, please. Actually, I do have an ice cream maker at my parents’ and used it for coconut cream-based vegan ice cream [Veganomicon] so far. It hasn’t gotten a lot of use for quite some time now, though
.
Have a great Wednesday!
Thanks sweetie!
Give the frozen yogurt a try – we finished our portion yesterday evening and will make some more soon.
Hope you have a great Wednesday, too!
Everything looks delicious especially your snack of celery w/almond butter, etc. That looks so tasty. Have a great day!
Bahaha! Way to go Kitty! You two look so cute together!!
I don’t have an ice making machine! But that ice cream of your looks so amazing, that I might be checking foe one on sale.
On the veggie thing… I guess you have to listen to your body. In winter I naturally reduce their consumption. However a little pushing always works for me.
Haha, kitty and I are a dream team!
That looks like real cookie dough ice cream! My favorite kind
So awesome that you made it from yogurt.
Your pasta bowl and wrap looks amazing!
Thanks – yeah, isn’t it nice when you can have your favorite treats the healthy way?
That Greek yogurt sounds SO good:)
I wish I had an ice cream maker! The Cookie Dough Frozen Greek Yogurt looks so delicious!!!
They aren’t too expensice, I bought mine for 29€.
I’ll definitely have to look into it then, it’s probably worth it
mmm this all looks so yummy! ive been dying to make my own cookie dough healthy ice cream for a while – my blender doesnt really do nuts though so ill have to think of something else to use as my dough!
You can also use pre-packaged almond meal, or quick cooking oats or protein powder and mix some nut butter in. Get creative!
That frozen greek yogurt sounds amazing! What a great way to sneak dates into the kids diet. Super thrilled to have found this recipe…I’m pinning it to my pinterest account NOW!
So happy that you liked it! I also pinned it to my pinterest, so you could even repin it.
I bought an ice cream maker about a year ago but I’m yet to use it. I think I know what the first recipe I make in it will be .
That is quite an honor!
I agree that ice cream looks delish!
I totally <3 wraps too! Well, anything in a tortilla…quesadilla, wrap, baked with some salsa. So versatile! The food looks great.
Sadly I couldn’t find any good salsa recently. Dunno what’s up with it – so I’ll probably make a huge batch at home soon.
Been looking for a good salsa recipe… Let me know if you find one you like/recommend.
Yummers! I LOVE putting tofu pate in my wraps. Soft wrap fillings are the best. Plus, because wraps are sometimes are little on the dry side, I prefer having “wetter” fillings… Also, boy oh boy, that “ice cream” looks delicious. I also have an ice cream maker and I most enjoy making nutella gelato
